He designed a tea kettle for Target a while back. It was so nice, kinda Art Deco. I wanted one for Christmas, but my son couldn't find one.

The Hitler reference is a shameful slap in Michael Graves' face as welll as Penney's.

My thought is the idiots on the Right are still burning over Penney's for having Ellen in their commercials.

I'm now going to renew my interest in that tea kettle.!
